We’ve launched Operation Flagship
Operation Flagship
The Vancouver Maritime Centre for Climate has officially launched Operation Flagship! Operation Flagship is at the core of the VMCC’s operation and is firmly aligned with our mission to create a climate-focused, world-class centre of excellence for the maritime industry.
The VMCC recognizes that the maritime sector in Canada is currently facing headwinds to reduce emissions with no clear path forward on how to meet established regional and federal targets. The VMCC believes that bringing industry together will help to facilitate the mobilization and implementation of clean technologies that will help ship owners and the supporting land-based infrastructure get to zero emissions faster.
The heart of VMCC’s operation is to help facilitate the provision of climate solutions and accelerate the implementation of emission reduction solutions through our pilot project program, Operation Flagship. The purpose of these pilot projects is to help ship owners, operators, ports & terminals as well as the supporting land-based infrastructure source innovative and sustainable solutions suited to their operating profile to help them to reduce their GHG emissions or to decarbonize completely.
